Dear Son,

Thank you for your recent message and the clippings from you in the news. My son on the lecture circuit. Maybell will just not believe it. She is always going on about her son the admiral, yet he has never saved the entire population of any planet. I’ll put these clippings up next to your dog clippings from so many worlds.

That Mayzing is really playing hard to get. She obviously phantasies about you touching her and you removing her clothes. Pulling the gun after you saved your life was most likely aimed at that skinny pretty boy you have working for you. She was just trying to show him that she is dangerous to scare him off. I’m sure things would have gone much better if you two had been alone together. Some day she will pay you back for the love and sensitive feelings you have put forward.

It is good that your crew tried to track down any escape ship for those lousy gene-terrorists. Hopefully the computer you retrieved out of the destroyed ship will lead to their leader.

You rescue hooks look like a good way for you to save your crew and stay out of the line of fire. When I was a sniper, the party line was wound the one in the open, then headshot the fool who tries to help them.

And so quick you have vanished to the Sol systems. Don’t trust the water on those backward planets! I know you continue to help all those you meet.

Love,

Mom

P.S. Your aunt Mutilda says your cousin Yolonda in one of the Sol systems. Lazy girl never writes. I’ll send you the details and if you get to her world you can go “encourage” her to write more often
